A few days later, in the elixir garden, Du Fan held a piece of grass and tree rhizome in his hand, and stared at it for a long time before putting it down.

"After rearrangement, the growth rate of the herbs can be increased by 30%, after the use of motherwort and other substances for companionship, the growth rate can be increased by 30%, and finally the fertilizer made by this animal can increase the growth rate by 40%. Then now the growth rate of these spiritual herbs has doubled as before. But that's not the limit, there's room for improvement. ”

Faced with the research results of more than a month, Du Fan not only did not show satisfaction, but fell into contemplation.

Xiaohu on the side, holding a chicken leg in each hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and didn't care about the grease that flowed down the corner of his mouth to his clothes.

The chicken leg was no longer stolen from the house, but bought.

Seeing this, Du Fan smiled slightly, and was about to say something when footsteps came from the mouth of the medicine garden.

I saw two people standing there at the moment, one in front of the other, and the person in front of him was a thin old man in a black brocade robe...... He looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, and his appearance is ordinary, but he gives people a sense of not being angry and arrogant, and his deep and calm eyes seem to be able to see through everything in the world, which makes people feel an invisible pressure in front of him. ,...,

The one behind him was Liu Neng, the steward of the medicine garden, whose face was solemn and respectful at this time, but there was a hint of sinister in his eyes.

The old man in the brocade robe had a slightly gloomy face, his eyes swept over the little tiger, and he began to look at the medicine garden. Suddenly, when he saw the appearance of the medicine garden, his face became even more gloomy, but after looking at it carefully, he let out a soft sigh, and a strange light gradually released from his pupils.

"Brother Du, this is Steward Xiao. The moment Xiaohu saw Steward Xiao, his face turned pale, and the chicken leg in his hand had fallen to the ground, but he ignored it, quietly walked behind Du Fan, and reminded in a low voice, his voice trembled, and he was already afraid.

Du Fan nodded imperceptibly. Xiaohu once mentioned to Du Fan that the big butler Xiao, this person is the head of the Yao family, who is thoughtful and deep-minded, and manages all the affairs of the Yao family, and has won the trust of the head of the Yao family. Although it seems to be a subordinate, his status is really not low, except for the head of the family, Yao Batian and his younger brother Yao Lingtian, this person is considered to be the third person of the Yao family, even if the minister of the prince of Tianxiang sees this person, he must give three points of courtesy.

On the one hand, it is because this person has an extremely high secular status, and on the other hand, it is his other identity, a cultivator. It is said that he has reached the realm of the third layer of the Qi Refining Period, and in the secular world, he has already stood at the pinnacle. ,...,

The Yao family's major is unknown, and no one in the outside world knows. His younger brother Yao Lingtian is a true genius in cultivation, and in less than a year of his establishment, he has already broken through to the second layer of qi refining, and it is rumored that this second master of the Yao family will one day surpass Xiao Mingming. But at this time. is not the mysterious head of the Yao family, this Xiao name can be said to be the highest person in the Yao family's cultivation, and his status is transcendent.

At the same time, he is also the first person who Xiaohu told Du Fan to be careful in the Yao family.

Thinking of this, Du Fan took a deep breath and bowed slightly to the big housekeeper.

"Steward Xiao, that kid is Du Fan, this medicine garden is what he is good at, and he is the way it is now, you know it. Liu Neng's eyes flashed, and he said the words that had been brewed at the right time.

Xiao Ming ignored Liu Neng, his expression moved, and he suddenly raised his hand with a move, and a flower-shaped spiritual herb in the distance trembled slightly, and it shot towards it, and it fell steadily into his hand.

After Xiao Ming observed for a long time, his originally indifferent expression showed shock, followed by a hint of suspicion, and with a flick of the cuffs, the spirit flower disappeared somewhere. Raising his hand and making another move into the medicine garden, another spiritual grass appeared in his hand, and this time he stared at the time of a cup of tea, and then waved his sleeves and put it away.

Seeing Xiao Ming's move, Du Fan's face was expressionless, but the little tiger behind him was already trembling, and Liu Neng also looked nervous. ...,

,...,

"Steward Xiao, this Du Fan has caused a big disaster, this son is under my control, and I am also responsible, but this matter itself has nothing to do with me, and I ask Steward Xiao to be forgiven for the sake of my dedication to the Yao family over the years. Liu Neng's nervousness was even heavier, he was already panicking, and he knew that his fate was about to be judged.

However, according to his estimates, after many days of operation, plus he has been managing the medicine garden for many years and has full experience, this job is not something anyone can take over casually, and he may be punished, but it should not be as serious as he imagined.

Thinking of this, Liu Neng's heart was a little calm, and when his eyes turned to Du Fan again, resentment flashed.

"Are you sure this matter has nothing to do with you at all?" Butler Xiao suddenly turned around and asked Liu Neng with a smile.

"Steward Xiao, I Liu Neng has been in the Yao family for eighteen years, I have worked hard, I have never slackened, and I have never made any mistakes, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me, it is all this Du Fan who does not know the height of the sky, you have to believe me, I ......"

Before Liu Neng could finish speaking, Xiao Ming directly waved his hand to interrupt him, turned his head to look at Du Fan, and looked up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Since Steward Liu said that it has nothing to do with him...... Then this matter has nothing to do with Steward Liu. Xiao Mingming's eyes flickered, still looking at Du Fan, as if he wanted to see through it, and he didn't know who his words were for. ,...,

"Thank you Steward Xiao for your insight!" It was only at this moment that Liu Neng was truly relieved, and when he looked at Du Fan again, he already gloated.

"Du Fan, do you have an explanation for this?" Xiao asked Du Fan.

"No, the medicine garden here is made by me alone, and it has nothing to do with Steward Liu and Xiaohu. Du Fan replied calmly.

"Okay, listen, today I promoted you to the steward of Yao Mansion, and in the future, you will be in charge of the elixir garden here, and all the situations and related tasks here do not need to go through Steward Liu, and directly obey me, can you hear clearly?" Xiao Mingming smiled slightly, and said this to the surprise of everyone present.

After hearing Xiao Mingming's words, Du Fan was obviously stunned, this expression rarely happened to him, but he still thanked him.

Liu Neng and Xiaohu were stupid there, and their minds were in chaos.

"In the future, you will enjoy all the treatment of the steward of the Yao Mansion, and I will send someone to take you to the new residence in the evening, but there is one thing, you must not leave the mansion for half a step without my order, otherwise you will die, do you understand?" Xiao Mingming's face sank. said something that made Du Fan's heart sink again.

"The villain got it. Du Fan replied solemnly.

Xiao Mingming nodded slightly, turned around and strode out of the medicine garden. ,...,

Liu Neng stood for a moment, but after all, he had been in a high position for many years, and he quickly settled down, and secretly regretted it, if he had known that it would be such an ending, then he would have to fight for a credit no matter what, seeing that the credit was taken up by others, or he tried his best to get rid of it, there was a pain in his heart. When he looked at Du Fan again, his eyes were complicated, he snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Du Fan was not very interested in this matter, but he was shocked by Xiao Ming's hand just now, as a scientist, he wants to explain everything with scientific principles, if it doesn't make sense, it will be as uncomfortable as a fish in his throat, recalling the scene at the time, and falling into thought.

"Brother Du, I heard you right, Steward Xiao has promoted you to be a steward, then you will no longer be a handyman in the future, but a master, I heard, not counting others, there will be five taels of silver per month. After Liu Neng left, Xiaohu was extremely excited, his face was red, his fists were clenched, and he shouted excitedly.

"We're not short of money. What are you excited about?" Du Fan was interrupted from thinking, glanced at the excited little tiger, and said helplessly.

"I'm excited, Brother Du, didn't you listen to what Steward Xiao said, you enjoy all the treatment, then you not only have a lot of money, you can live in a good house, the most important thing is that you don't have to look at Steward Liu's face, you don't have to be deducted from his salary every month, you will be on an equal footing with him in the future, I will follow the naked, I see who will dare to bully me in the future." Ah Ping, the miscellaneous servant of the room, was caught stealing and eating that time, beat me half to death, and showed off the matter to the other miscellaneous servants, and the miscellaneous servant of the study, Da Xiong, once not only beat me for no reason, but also robbed me of three copper coins. I look at these people, how will they bully me in the future, hum!" Xiaohu became more and more excited the more he spoke, and finally he was already dancing. ,...,

Xiaohu doesn't have anything yet, it seems that he is just telling ordinary things. But these words were in Du Fan's ears, but they were not a taste, Xiaohu was only ten years old, he was just a child, as an orphan, he was already miserable to be a miscellaneous servant, but he didn't expect to be bullied in this Yao Mansion. Compared with Xiaohu, his childhood was too happy.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Du Fan was in a trance, and suddenly felt that in this world, maybe he could do something.
